I've been lurking for years as I enjoy the banter (mostly) I'm called Penmaker because guess what, my hobby since I retired is..........MAKING PENS!! Welcome to the board.

Gemmill 63190 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I know but imagine a pen with CUNT written along the side of it. It's brand diversification. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1476 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I used to work for a guy who was heavily into metal detecting and collecting coins in his free time. Stories of CT's hobbies remind me of him a bit. He was obsessed with inspecting 2p coins for their date and whether or not they said Two Pence or New Pence. Apparently there were a few misprints from 1983 or thereabouts that are valuable. Best job ever, getting paid to scatter 2p coins around any given room and basically get the day off while your boss scurried around inspecting every single coin. I've since had pets and children that were harder to train. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
